CHEMICAL SDS Sheets: Health Technologies Eliminator

Staff reference for handling, storing, and responding to spills of Eliminator, our enzyme odor and stain digester.

At a Glance

GHS signal word: Warning. Eliminator is our second most-used facility chemical, an enzyme-based odor digester used for organic odor and stain control. Its only classified hazard is "May cause an allergic skin reaction," from the live bacteria cultures it contains. Gloves and eye protection belong on your hands and face before handling it, its mist or spray should not be inhaled, and contaminated clothing needs a wash before it goes back on.

What This Product Is

Health Technology Professional Products Inc., based in Riverside, California, makes Eliminator (product code 5195) for enzyme odor control. Its active ingredient is Viable Bacteria Cultures at 10 to 15 percent, the enzyme-producing organisms that break down the organic material causing odors and stains. The manufacturer's emergency telephone number is (951) 283-9595.

Hazard Identification

The GHS-US classification is Skin Sens. 1, H317, meaning the product "May cause an allergic skin reaction." No other hazard classification applies. Precautionary language from the sheet: "Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, spray, vapours. Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the workplace. Wear protective clothing, eye protection, face protection." The sheet also notes the product does not contain any substances classified as hazardous chemicals under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, apart from the Skin Sens. 1 classification of the bacteria culture component itself.

First Aid Measures

The SDS first aid measures, quoted directly:

  • Skin: "If skin irritation or rash occurs: Wash with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, get medical attention."
  • Eyes: "IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention."
  • Ingestion: "Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Obtain emergency medical attention."
  • Inhalation: "If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice."

The sheet's general first aid guidance also states that nothing should ever be given by mouth to an unconscious person, and that a person who has swallowed the product may experience delayed gastric or intestinal irritation and nausea.

Handling and Storage

Keep the substance free from contamination, and avoid eye, skin, and clothing contact while working with it. No eating, drinking, or smoking during use, and any contaminated clothing gets washed before it goes back into rotation. Hands and forearms should be washed thoroughly after handling, and again before eating, drinking, smoking, or clocking out. A cool, dry, well-ventilated storage area with the container closed when not in use keeps the product stable, and strong acids and strong bases should stay well away from it.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Avoid all unnecessary exposure. Hand protection should be protective gloves, and eye protection should be chemical goggles or safety glasses. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, and wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday, which the sheet lists as an engineering-control-level hygiene practice alongside good industrial hygiene handling.

Spill Response

Isolate the spill from any fire source if possible without unnecessary risk. Non-emergency personnel should wear protective goggles and gloves, and unnecessary personnel should be evacuated from the area. Emergency responders should ventilate the area and use appropriate safety equipment. Prevent the product from entering sewers and public waters, and notify authorities if it does. Contain the spill, collect or pump it into suitable containers, and plug the leak or cut off the supply. Where possible, flush the remainder down a drain connected to a waste treatment sewer; otherwise use a chemical absorbent and sweep it up.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Eliminator is a milky-white liquid with a mild odor. Its pH runs 6.2 to 8.2, it boils at 212°F, and its specific gravity sits between 0.992 and 1.012. It will not flash, dissolves completely in water, and carries a VOC content of 0 g/l. Recommended conditions keep it stable, hazardous reactions are not established, and hazardous decomposition products are not expected under normal storage and use.

Where We Use It

Eliminator is our second most-used facility chemical, used for enzyme-based organic odor and stain digestion wherever accidents happen, kennels, crates, and carpeted or upholstered surfaces. Its enzyme cultures need time to work rather than immediate wiping, so staff should apply it and let it sit per label directions instead of rinsing it away too soon.
